There has been a lot of discussion lately about breadth divergences of various types, including Advance-Decline Lines, and so I figure that a primer is in order. The very first analysts who ever looked at data on Advancing and Declining issues were Leonard Ayres and James Hughes, of the Cleveland Trust Company. Leonard Ayres was an interesting guy who had served as GEN Pershing's logistician in WWI, trying to figure out how to get horses, cannons, ammunition, and men across the Atlantic to fight in WWI, something that the U.S. Army had no experience with. In 1926, after leaving the Army and becoming an investment manager, Ayres decided to undertake a study of what it might mean when the A-D data do something different than what prices do. That is why the extent of data we have on Advances and Declines go back to just 1926. I had heard a few years ago that the late Paul Desmond of Lowry's was going to undertake an effort to build the data going back further, using OCR reading of daily closing stock tables from microfiche copies of newspapers, but I never heard whether anything came of that effort. Here is what the A-D Line data looked like from those earliest years: There was obviously a big fat bearish divergence at the price top in 1929, because most stocks were doing poorly by then and only the darlings were keeping the DJIA aloft. But nobody then knew then about this divergence, or if they did, they probably did not have any basis for interpreting its message. And besides, anyone who wasn't playing the stock market then on 10x leverage was a sucker who was missing out. The early work of Ayres and Hughes was kept in obscurity for many years, and it was only in 1962 that the larger analytical world became aware of the utility of examining Advance-Decline data. It was in 1962 that Richard Russell of The Dow Theory Letters, and Joe Granville of The Granville Market Letter, each separately pointed out how the NYSE’s A-D Line had shown a bearish divergence by topping in 1961, whereas the DJIA topped in early 1962. That divergence gave warning of the 27% decline in the DJIA in 1962. People got excited about an indicator which could give an early warning of a bear market like that, and so interest in the A-D Line grew during the 1960s. For this reason, a lot of people got more interested in the 1960s about tracking A-D data, and that included my parents. They were followers of the late P.N. "Pete" Haurlan, and his Trade Levels Report. Haurlan was the first to introduce the use of exponential moving averages (EMAs) for tracking stock prices, a bit of math which had only been invented in the 1950s. You can read some more about that history here: https://t.co/4Y72HIVK9F. We prepared that 40-page document as a handout for attendees at the 2004 annual meeting of the Market Technicians Association, where my parents were honored with that organization's Lifetime Achievement Award. It include's Haurlan's booklet, "Measuring Trend Values", which discusses the calculation and interpretation of EMAs. One of the criticisms of NYSE A-D data is that there are a lot of issues traded on the NYSE that are not "real" stocks. They currently amount to about 40% of the total number of issues. Things like SPACs, preferred stocks, warrants, and closed end bond funds are seen by many as contaminants to the data, and so some analysts will tell you that you should focus instead on the "common only" A-D data. I debunked that point here back in 2017: https://t.co/QofUN8hVFY I spoke with Richard Russell about this a few years ago, before his death in 2015, and he acknowledged that shortly after both he and Granville brought the A-D Line into the public consciousness, critics claimed it was invalid because of its supposed contamination by the inclusion of utilities and insurance stocks, which were considered to be more influenced by interest rates rather than the “real” stock market. So this same dismissive argument has been around for years, but it has not diminished the usefulness of examining the A-D Line, when one does the analysis properly. In the years since Ayres and Hughes first started tracking A-D stats, other breadth measures came along and became popular. Abe Cohen of ChartCraft (which later became Investors Intelligence) first created the Bullish Percentage Index back in the 1950s, measuring the percentage of NYSE stocks that were on a buy signal in point and figure charts. I cannot remember who first came up with looking at how many stocks out of a group are above their XXX-day moving averages. Measuring the stocks making New Highs and New Lows is another type of breadth study. All breadth indicators are "diffusion indices", meaning that they are measurements of the behavior of members of a group in some way. There are two main problems with breadth divergences affecting their use. The first one is that they will not tell you when they are going to matter, and it can sometimes take quite a while. The big divergence in 1989-90 lasted a year before Saddam Hussein helped it to matter when he invaded Kuwait. A second problem is that sometimes a bearish divergence can get "rehabilitated". A big, obvious A-D Line divergence in August 1987 mattered a whole lot. The divergence a year later in 1988 turned out not to matter, and the A-D Line redeemed itself in early 1989 by making a higher high. This is why I like to remind people that a divergence is a "condition", and not a "signal". It is useful information, and it can shape how and if you respond to actual bearish "signals". Sometimes a bearish trading signal should be ignored under certain circumstances, especially if the market is in a strong uptrend. But such signals may deserve get extra consideration as being more likely to be valid when you have a bearish divergence informing you.
RT @PEoperator: One of the best investing books of all time is selling for THOUSANDS of dollars For those of you who can't swing that (or find a copy floating around on the internet), I've summarized each chapter below. Written by Seth Klarman (Baupost CEO) and published in 1991, MoS is considered one of the best investing books of all time. The MoS subtitle describes the book well: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investor. MoS is a comprehensive guide to value investing, emphasizing the importance of a margin of safety to protect against downside risk. Klarman critiques common pitfalls investors fall into, such as speculation and short-term thinking influenced by Wall Street's conflicting interests. He advocates for a disciplined, long-term approach to investing based on fundamental analysis and the intrinsic value of businesses. While Klarman is mostly focused on public securities, these same principles apply to private investments as well. In fact, much of what he discusses may be more relevant to private markets today than ever. So if you are an operator, an private investor, or public equities trader, MoS has plenty of application. Definitely worth reading if you can get your hands on a copy. Chapter Summaries 1. Speculators and Unsuccessful Investors: Investing should be based on fundamentals and intrinsic value, not on speculation and market predictions, which often lead to substantial losses. 2. The Nature of Wall Street Works Against Investors: Investors must be aware of Wall Street’s inherent conflicts of interest and short-term focus, which can be detrimental to long-term investment success. 3. The Institutional Performance Derby: The Client Is the Loser: Institutional investors often prioritize short-term performance metrics over the actual financial well-being of their clients, leading to poor investment decisions. 4. Delusions of Value: The Myths and Misconceptions of Junk Bonds in the 1980s: The junk bond market of the 1980s serves as a cautionary tale about t******gers of chasing high yields without understanding the underlying risks. 5. Defining Your Investment Goals: Clear, long-term investment goals are essential for guiding decisions and maintaining focus, helping investors stay disciplined and avoid short-term distractions. 6. Value Investing: The Importance of a Margin of Safety: A margin of safety is crucial for protecting against downside risk and ensuring that investments are made at a significant discount to intrinsic value. 7. At the Root of a Value-Investment Philosophy: Value investing requires a bottom-up approach, absolute performance orientation, and a focus on both risk and return to achieve long-term success. 8. The Art of Business Valuation: Accurate business valuation is key to identifying undervalued securities and making informed investment decisions. 9. Investment Research: The Challenge of Finding Attractive Investments: Thorough research and due diligence are necessary to uncover attractive investment opportunities and avoid potential pitfalls. 10. Areas of Opportunity for Value Investors: Catalysts, Market Inefficiencies, and Institutional Constraints: Value investors can find significant opportunities by exploiting market inefficiencies, special situations, and institutional constraints. 11. Investing in Thrift Conversions: Thrift conversions can offer unique investment opportunities, but they require careful analysis of the specific circumstances and risks involved. 12. Investing in Financially Distressed and Bankrupt Securities: Investing in distressed and bankrupt securities can be lucrative, but it demands a deep understanding of the risks and potential for recovery. 13. Portfolio Management and Trading: Effective portfolio management and disciplined trading strategies are essential for maintaining the integrity of a value-investment portfolio. 14. Investment Alternatives for the Individual Investor: Individual investors should consider professional management options and alternative strategies if they are unable or unwilling to manage their investments themselves.

Or is the bond rally supported by plunging "soft data" because Democrats are worried about November? In other words, every time Biden randomly wanders off in the middle of a ceremony or loses his train of thought, buy bonds?!?

The #Crypto markets continue to drop, why? This week was filled with macroeconomic data, which all turned out to be bad. However, the Dollar continued its strength the previous week, while Gold was strong too. #Bitcoin’s price action was terrible, through which altcoins have been suffering a lot. What has been happening in the past week as a reason for the current price action? CPI Data on Wednesday CPI Data came out last Wednesday where the measurements for the Consumer Price Index are measured, primarily influencing the FED to decide their interest rates and, whether or not, a potential rate cut is on the horizon. The data was in favor of risk-on assets as the data was lower than expected. Why does that favor the markets and what was the actual news? CPI Regular came out at 3.3%, while 3.4% was expected. Core CPI Regular scored 3.4%, while 3.5% was expected. The monthly data was positive as well, as the data was 0.0% vs. 0.1% and 0.2% vs 0.3%. All are positive for a potential rate cut or at least favor positivity towards the future on a potential rate cut. PPI data on Thursday The next important event was PPI data, which is technically the inflation data from Wednesday, but then from the producer’s perspective. The regular PPI provided a score of 2.2% instead of the 2.5% expected. The Core PPI Y/Y provided a score of 2.3% instead of the 2.4% expected. The monthly data was very positive for risk-on assets as well, as this came at -0.2% vs 0.1% and 0.0% vs 0.3%. All, again, very favorable for upward momentum on the markets, but unfortunately, the markets are not picking up any momentum. Crypto assets have continued their downward trend. Consumer Sentiment on Friday The consumer sentiment came out on Friday and can be signaled as a sign of weakness and strength for the markets, which is technically a market leader. The markets have provided a ‘positive’ signal as the consumer sentiment came out lower than expected. The expectations are a rate between 0 and 100, through which the data came out at 65.6 while 72.1 was expected. All in all, it is not the best data for economic strength, and as a matter of fact, a bullish perspective for risk-on assets as you might argue that the markets are eager for rate cuts and that the markets are rotating from here, crypto-native markets. However, some events took place during the week which didn’t cause upward momentum. FOMC On Wednesday evening, Jerome Powell’s speech was the most hawkish speech he has been producing in a substantial amount of time. Weirdly enough, all data is shouting for a rate cut, as the CPI and PPI start to come in way lower than expected, and, slowly but surely, the economic data becomes worse as well. That calls for a potential upcoming recession and additionally, the debt on the U.S. government starts to increase so the amount of debt payments that they need to do is getting worse and worse. A rate cut is a must in the next period, especially in election years. However, Powell kept his stance provided a hawkish tone, and revised his amount of potential rate cuts for 2024 downwards. Not a great outlook for the markets. However, overall, the markets have been doing exactly what you want it to be doing. Why is that? The markets have been going down on the Treasury Bond Yields, the 2-years have dropped substantially to the lowest point in the past two months (4.694%). The highest point during May was 5.00%, around the actual low of the Bitcoin markets ($58,000). The 10-year Yield has even continued its fall to 4.211%, which is currently the lowest point since the beginning of April as well. You would say, if that’s happening, then it’s very likely that Bitcoin will start to do really well, as the markets are pricing in a higher chance of a potential rate cut. It’s not the case. The Dollar continued its strength, as it rallied to 105.75 points, with only a single reason for this strength: the rate cut in Europe. The ECB decided two weeks ago to provide a rate cut, through which the markets have seemingly priced in the Dollar as a stronger currency rather than the Euro. In fact, the opposite is true, as rate cuts are necessary to keep the economy floating forward. Powell is slowly but surely crashing the economy, and even Yellen called for rate cuts. In the meantime, Gold continued its momentum as well. Gold has seen some upward momentum and doesn’t follow the path of Bitcoin. The question is, what’s next? Are we continuing the downward spiral for Bitcoin, or is that not the case? Bitcoin started to fall substantially during Friday afternoon through which the weakness continued in the crypto markets. There’s still no conclusion on the listing of the Ethereum ETF, and because of that, it seems apparent that the markets continue to show weakness as they look for more evidence that the listing is going to happen. Combining all the factors, it seems that very likely, the markets aim to provide a potential window of correction through which the Ethereum ETF approval is a ‘Sell the Rumor, Buy the News’ type of event for the entire markets. The ingredients from a macroeconomic perspective are already there. The rate cuts are on the horizon, while the uncertainties surrounding the potential rate cuts are still hunching in the markets as the Dollar has continued to show its strength in the past week, primarily due to the rate cut of the ECB. I’m expecting a lot from the upcoming weeks. I think we’ll have one more week of downward pain on the markets before we continue to run upward.

Active bond funds have performed well lately. Of nearly 1,700 actively managed bond funds covering a range of investment strategies tracked by Morningstar Direct, 74% beat their benchmark indexes in the past year. That is an improvement from the 18-month stretch of the Fed’s aggressive rate-hiking campaign, during which 58% of bond pickers lagged behind comparable bond indexes. ===== Why do active bond managers consistently beat a benchmark index whereas active stock managers struggle to do the same? I offered a reason in my op-ed in The Financial Times last month: https://t.co/qfzuspIAiY ccording to the S&P Index Versus Active Report, 80 per cent of equity managers of large capitalisation stocks underperform a benchmark like the S&P 500 over the five-year horizon. However, in the general bond market category, 55 per cent of managers have outperformed their benchmark over the same period. Why? In equities, your biggest weightings are the all-stars. Think of the Magnificent Seven stocks. Equity managers cannot beat an index fund if they are not always all-in on the all-stars, and most are not. However, in the bond market, the biggest weightings are often the problem children, such as overleveraged companies, low-coupon mortgage securities, and countries that borrow too much debt. Recognising problems and sidestepping them produces big rewards. The fact that most managers have beaten a benchmark index confirms this. ===== We manage an active index, The Bianco Research Fixed Income Total Return Index.

As the average (dashed line) and standard deviations (shaded area) show, the current level of implied volatility is not only below average but also one standard deviation below this range. Restated, while actual volatility in the bond market cranked up last week (chart above), the options market doesn't see this lasting and is not pricing in elevated volatility as we advance (this chart). In my experience, when market volatility cranks up, and everyone is sanguine about it, volatility will keep rising until no one is sanguine about it. Buckle up.

RT @TXMCtrades: IMO the coming decade will feature a complete reshaping of the global financial order, not in its choice of reserve currency, but due to mass sovereign indebtedness forcing financial repression in many economies. What Claudio Borio calls an "epoch defining seismic rupture". The implications could be profound. I've tweeted at length about the disinflationary impulse nurtured by 40 years of falling interest rates. How turns in the bond market have historically taken investors by surprise while lasting for decades themselves. How the disentangling of East and West creates a hotbed of inflationary forces that will be with us for many years. Some of these ideas are in the Highlights section of my profile. Others are in videos on my YouTube @AlphaBetaSoup_. With the world's most developed economies producing more debt than income and deficits needing to be funded, the most likely path forward for many countries will be the forced repatriation of capital and the compulsion of savers to hold govt whilst eating a face full debasement. Industrial policy will be used in tandem with credit controls to drive growth in strategic defensive sectors. We already see hints of this in the global Covid response and in Europe's guaranteeing of energy loans after 2022's commodity shock. I've tweeted about this for two years. Because of the volatility that has been awakened, yields are likely to base out ABOVE ZERO barring a depression. This would represent a structural HIGHER LOW in rates and a tectonic change from my entire lifetime. Credit markets still have not recognized this shift and are holding onto ZIRP dreams for dear life. Many assume that the next move by policymakers will be a total return to easy money like most of 2010-2021, but they don't see that the winds have shifted on this topic. Central banks have already told us they don't want to return to QE. It is a path to nowhere. It does not lead to GROWTH and these countries need MORE GDP than DEBT. All it does is produce higher asset prices and inequality. They've literally said this. The only alternative for growing deficits is strategic industrial policy, directed credit, and financial repression. Savers WILL be made to bear the burden. If countries collectively realize that foreign ability to fund their deficits is waning because everyone faces a similar set of problems, the survival response will be trade protectionism and to force the return of capital invested abroad in an effort to fund the deficits needed to maintain sovereign solvency. They must keep capital from escaping. Japan, Eurozone, UK, and the US all face these challenges with Europe in the worst position. The victims of this total reversal of forces could possibly be the same that benefited from four decades of disinflation, massive foreign investment, and falling rates: tech stocks and other long duration risk assets, the largest pool of which is the US stock market. The world is changing before our very eyes. The post-GFC easy money era is over. What comes next will probably look quite different. The question now is who kicks off the domino rally that brings it forward.

RT @HomicidalChickn: This week at @TheopetraLabs I've been working on our iBuyer system, a kind of automated escrow we'll be using to execute on real estate transactions. At its core, it's a really simple smart contract powered by @UMAprotocol UMA is an optimistic oracle, which is a way of putting any kind of data on-chain by putting down a bond and getting others to try to dispute your data to earn your bond during a challenge period. For us, this is really useful because real estate transactions rely on publicly verifiable information already! It's really easy to verify details like the agent's identity and the appraisal value of the unit because these kinds of information are regulated in the U.S to be public info. In addition, the professionals who report them are licensed and subject to harsh financial and even criminal penalties if they were to commit fraud. These professionals are also positively incentivized because they earn their income through commissions, so a successful transaction is great news for them! You can treat this system a lot like a form of economic security, because the losses from processing a bad transaction end up outweighing the profits from doing so. In many ways, it's a lot like proof of stake with slashing. What this means is that we'll be able to decentralize operations and run the protocol without ever requiring centralized handling of user funds. They can only be spent by publicly proposing a valid real estate transaction that meets Theopetra's underwriting requirements and follows its policy goals. This is where UMA comes in handy again. You can give it any set of rules, and since transactions only pass if they meet those rules, we can use this oracle as though it were a decentralized underwriting network. This prevents the protocol from buying junk properties or overpaying for them, and it also ensures that the protocol is always acting in the best interest of its users. Our goal is to make the distance between blockchain networks and real world action a lot smaller. By using decentralized tools, we can not only improve our operations through automation, we can also make them more secure, transparent, and trustworthy too

Most NFTs are digital collectibles, and as such, they usually have no utility. With Paribus, you can leverage your #NFTs by unlocking the liquidity stored within them. 🧵👇 1. Collecting Can be Addictive 👀 Most NFT holders have several within their portfolios, and the last thing they want to do is sell them. Increasing your holdings can be hard when all your funds are tied up in them, though. 2. Unlocking the Liquidity in NFTs 🔓 Selling is a hard decision to make with crypto and even harder with NFTs. With Paribus, you don’t have to sell; you can use your NFT as collateral for a loan. 3. Sentimental Value is Important ❤️ Most people have special memories associated with each NFT they purchase; this is one of the asset class's unique characteristics. Using them for a loan helps to keep the memories alive while releasing some of their value. 4. NFTs Offer Unique Leverage 📊 Although Ethereum has increased in value, this is only half the picture for NFTs. As demand for a collection increases, the amount of ETH to buy them also increases, irrespective of the price of ETH. 5. Two Bites of the Cherry 🍒 Taking out a loan against an NFT means you can afford to buy more while ETH is still strong. This means you’ve still got time to profit from buying NFTs at lower prices before they catch up. 6. Hold Your Favorites, Flip the Rest 💰 An NFT loan means you can keep your favorite NFTs in your portfolio. With the loan funds, you can trade and flip other NFTs that you don’t have an emotional bond with. 7. Forget the Wait Time ⏳ Paribus offers near-immediate NFT loans because we have whitelisted collections. It means you don’t have to wait for someone to offer you a loan on your NFT, which helps you to move faster and execute your trades quickly.

RT @reflexivityres: Overview of @BumperFinance: Leveraging AI to Harness Volatility: In these markets, risk management emerges as a pivotal concern for both seasoned investors and newcomers. Bumper - a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol - addresses this concern by providing an innovative solution designed to mitigate the risks associated with price fluctuations and to enable smarter trading for more gains. By simplifying the hedging process, Bumper allows all market participants to trade the market or safeguard their investments against downturns while maintaining the potential for gains, no matter what direction the market goes. Bumper markets itself as a permissionless, AI-powered pooled risk market - a new primitive in the DeFi sector designed to make traders’ lives easier, more efficient and more manageable to succeed in these volatile markets. Bumper offers built-in risk management to make navigating crypto easier and more effective. Operating as an innovative DeFi platform that simplifies volatile markets and position hedging, every type of trader can take advantage of it. Typical methods of managing risk across crypto markets include stop-loss orders, holding a portion of your portfolio in stablecoins and utilizing options. Bumper’s approach involves a two-sided pooled risk market, consisting of protection takers on one side and yield-seekers on the other. Bumper’s smart contracts allow protection takers to deposit their assets with a specified term length and floor price. If the price of an asset settles above floor price at any point, they can get their original assets back. If price settles below the floor, users claim the value of floor price in stablecoins, though they must wait until expiration date to settle this position. With both outcomes covered, protection takers can rest easy knowing their assets are secure in Bumper. With yield-seekers on the other end, these users provide liquidity and earn a return based on premiums paid by protection takers. This structure not only simplifies the hedging process but also enhances the fairness and accessibility of risk management, making it a crucial tool for anyone attempting to navigate crypto markets. This system is more sustainable than many other mechanisms that take place in DeFi, mainly due to its simplicity and the presence of real yield for liquidity providers. Assuming there is always an individual looking to trade on Bumper, yield-seekers earn this premium for taking risk upon depositing. Unlike other applications that offer high yields based on liquidity mining and unsustainable protocol emissions, Bumper’s platform is driven by users and puts the power in their hands. This is the opposite of a zero-sum system, with both types of Bumper users winning based on their respective roles. For yield-seekers this comes from premium earned and protection takers receive the benefit of proper risk management for their assets. What sets Bumper apart is its ability to operate efficiently across all market conditions, including extreme scenarios like Black Swan events. Bumper’s robust design ensures solvency and sustainability, instilling confidence amongst its users as they open, close and evaluate positions. Bumper’s market model is based on fairness and shared risk, which allows for dynamic response to market changes, efficient pricing of risk, and distribution of yields that are both stable and fair. Bumper offers multiple advantages for different types of crypto market participants. For those seeking protection, it provides a cost-effective and simple alternative to traditional options and stop-loss strategies, allowing them to benefit from potential upswings without the worry of significant downturns. For yield seekers, Bumper presents an opportunity to earn from the premiums paid by those seeking protection, contributing to a healthier, more balanced crypto ecosystem. A simple example of what’s possible with Bumper can be given through the following: a DeFi user might open a hedged position assuming the market is going to move lower, make a claim on this position to receive stablecoins and buy back into the asset, all achieved through the Bumper app. Innovative enough on its own, Bumper’s unique architecture and product suite powered by LLMs and additional machine learning methodologies is helping traders achieve more efficient pricing, higher yields and vastly safer risk management procedures - a new primitive representative of horizontal scaling in crypto done correctly.. Understanding Bumper To provide more context for the rest of the report, let’s explore how Bumper calculates premiums and how the underlying mechanisms work, with a focus on Bumper’s unique pool rebalancing features. Part of what makes Bumper’s system function so well is its focus on dynamically rebalancing premiums and shifting risk and reward across many user positions in-app. Bumper refers to its rebalancing strategy as a “dynamic hedging engine,” an integral process that underpins the entire protocol functionality. Algorithms within Bumper monitor liquidity ratios, compare these to target ratios and calculate solutions to minimizing liquidity risk at various price levels across user positions. Through its use of a dynamic hedging engine, Bumper is able to ensure not only protocol solvency, but superior pricing for users upon both the entry and exit of positions - the rebalancing happening underneath is one of the core reasons for Bumper’s efficiency. The algorithm works across several stages, but ultimately finalizes upon same-side rebalancing for total capital and total assets across Bumper. Bumper’s algorithms operate whether or not a liquidity risk was even observed, allowing the application to function smoothly regardless of strenuous market conditions being present or not. When it comes to pricing its premiums for takers, Bumper uses another similar dynamic pricing mechanism. To offer more of a formalization, the three factors that control this process are price risk factors (PRFs), liquidity risk factors (LRFs) and the risk rating of each position. PRFs are determined by the continuous asset monitoring by Bumper, with algorithms running analysis on recent price movements and historical data to generate a fixed proxy for the most likely future price volatility. The more volatility rises, the higher Bumper’s PRFs go. LRFs are crucial to assessing risk, as any market ultimately depends on liquidity for sufficient and accurate price discovery. Liquidity risk in the context of Bumper refers to a situation where in-app pools are unable to satisfy the request(s) of a maker or taker. While Bumper categorizes these scenarios as highly unlikely due to the required volatility and extreme absence of protocol liquidity, it is absolutely essential to monitor this in order to accurately and fairly price premiums on Bumper. Risk rating of each position occurs after setting term lengths and floor prices to every taker position within Bumper, dynamically pricing risk based on user actions taken. These risk ratings increase the liability risk of positions taken and prices premiums dynamically to reflect this. The longer a protection term is, the lower a premium rate is charged. Longer protection terms typically see lower premium rates charged, though individual user risk within these can vary. Bumper was designed to maximize the efficiency of asset pricing risk to offer takers provably fair priced premiums - at the heart of any market is a healthy incentive balance between makers and takers, with Bumper striving to ensure this balance remains a core aspect of their operations. Bumper takes price and liquidity risk from the platform and distributes it fairly to both takers and makers. For the former, dynamic premiums are accumulated globally at a pool level for all positions, while individual premiums are determined at any point by a taker’s risk factor and timeframe specified. On the other hand, makers share a global yield pool due to the fluctuations that might occur within individual taker premium pricing. Market yield is effectively split amongst all makers proportionally to their assets deposited and level of risk specified in order to ensure fair and attractive payments for their services. Bumper represents a massive step forward in the field of DeFi. Its unique approach driven by built-in risk management makes it indispensable for those looking to protect their crypto assets while also offering lucrative opportunities for those willing to provide liquidity in these volatile markets. With its user-friendly interface, fair pricing, and resilient system design, Bumper stands out as a beacon of innovation in the constantly changing cryptocurrency landscape, promising a more stable future for all market participants. Bumper’s flexible hedging system makes it so traders don’t have to lose out on market upside should their market predictions not come to fruition, while balancing out rewards for yield-seekers with attractive returns. This core functionality allows users to engage in almost any type of trading style they choose, all from an easy to navigate interface. Actions like locking in profits, protecting against downside volatility, earning greater yield, and crafting more deliberate positions are all possible with Bumper. Crypto has hundreds of liquid, active markets for users to trade - all of these are different and possess a level of nuance that varies from the last. With Bumper, users can stick to a set of guiding principles for their trading styles and utilize the tools they need to succeed - it’s customizable, passively managed and puts your portfolio first. Traditional methods of risk management in crypto suffer from a few major drawbacks, mainly centralized exchanges, the presence of heightened emotion from volatility and liquidity constraints. Users feel boxed in by feeling they have to protect their assets with a custodian or feel pressured to buy or sell more with each subsequent candle. With Bumper, users can simply deposit their assets and let the protocol’s mechanisms manage risk in an emotionless, practical way. Bumper’s structure provides a unique alternative to the complexit
I've been doing a deep dive on this question: Where did the 60/40 portfolio come from? Stocks were somewhat shunned following the Great Depression and WW2 until the late 40s and 50s when Graham and Markowitz both began advocating for 50/50 allocations or something more "balanced". They proposed the concept we're all familiar with now - that diversification could generate more efficient risk adjusted returns. They proposed 50/50 because it was roughly close to the outstanding market caps of stocks/bonds and also appeared to generate optimally "efficient" risk adjusted returns. There were relatively few ways to obtain this allocation and one option that had been around since 1929 was a little fund called Wellington Fund. In 1944 Wiesenberger Investment Companies Yearbook began publishing many of the top benchmarks and fund performance records. Wellington was among the few "balanced" funds in its records. Although Wellington didn't maintain a fixed allocation, from 1944-1966 the fund averaged an equity allocation of...59.92% and appeared to generate returns that were superior to many competitor funds. Interestingly, Wellington almost died in the 1970s as it rode the equity wave to an even higher equity allocation that was hurt further by its bond allocation as rates rose. The Fund nearly died and virtually everyone said the "balanced" fund era was dead. The Fund would ultimately settle at an allocation target closer to 60/40 and we all know what happened next. Stocks and "alternative" strategies became increasingly popular, but Wellington's boring stock/bond fund roared back to life and Vanguard became, well, Vanguard. Wellington and other balanced funds' benchmark status became increasingly ingrained. In short, the 60/40 story began with Markowitz and Graham as a 50/50 story, but evolved to a 60/40 story thanks to Bogle, Wellington and its outstanding long-term history of providing a balanced return using a portfolio that was typically close to 60/40.

RT @ThisIsMarkPaul: Three months ago, we realized that we needed to “evolve” @itheum to a new narrative, as growth was slowing down. However, we didn’t want to just react to and chase the latest crypto hype and fade away when it fades. Instead, we aimed to evolve with a long-term mindset to make a significant impact. We were also very dissatisfied that #itheum was still “permissioned.” We knew we had to address this first to demonstrate to our community that we are committed to the long term and are building decentralized #blockchain data technology designed to last for the next 50 years and more and be accessible to everyone on earth! Last week, we made Itheum fully open and permissionless! Now, anyone, anywhere, can bond $ITHEUM tokens to prove their Liveliness (reputation) and mint their data as #DataNFTs⚡️ With this milestone achieved, we are now ready to move to a new chapter for #itheum. I’ll share more about our plans in the coming week! #LFGItheumV2

#ARCHIPnews: BlackRock's BUILD triumphs: Leading tokenised fund on Ethereum reaches new heights 🏆 Just over two months ago, the world's largest asset manager BlackRock launched a tokenised fund (BUILD) on the Ethereum blockchain. In that time, this tokenised product has already absorbed almost 30% of the entire tokenised bond market. With a market value of USD 381 million, BUILD was the largest tokenised fund in mid-May - closely followed by Franklin Tempelton's product with the ticker FOBXX. The tokenisation of financial assets is thus progressing unhindered. Ethereum is emerging as the go-to blockchain for tokenisation projects. Most of the value of tokenised bonds so far is concentrated on Ethereum. Given Ethereum's popularity and proven track record, this makes perfect sense. Note on the image: Ethereum is also described here and there as a blockchain for institutions. This image shows why.
